We have started a project on the Research Gate website (www.researchgate.net) to share protocols and promote discussion among amyloid researchers. For this project, we chose the Research Gate website as the forum like nature of the site does allows an ongoing discussion of research. Alzforum is a very
good site with some of the same goals. Currently, this project differs somewhat
from Alzforum in its focus on methodology rather than specific results (although their
is obviously many areas of overlap), the informal nature the site
(comments and papers can be posted quickly), and a focus on all amyloids
rather than only those only involved in neurodegeneration. Currently, we have 10 research groups participating and hope to increase this number.

Please send an email to Jeff Brender (jbrender@umich.edu) if you wish to join (the Research Gate website currently only allows you to view the project if you accept an invitation from a current member.
